THE DEODORANT BALM. Award winning, multi-use, natural deodorant. Plastic Free. Gender Free. Aluminium Free. 100% effective — 1 tube lasts up to 3 months. SC.01 ORANGE GROVE. 50ml

I bought this at the start of the the year and I feel like I've really put it through it's paces. I'm a performer (who sweats a lot!) and I've been touring a very active show to some wildly different climates; from the tiny cold Scottish isle of Mull to the south of France in 40 degree heat to very humid Singapore. Of all the natural deodorants I've tried, this it the best at deodorising - of course it doesn't stop the sweat, but it stops me smelling awful, even after many hours of sweating with heat and after running around on stage. I LOVE the smell - I have the purple Onsen one. It's quite strong, but I love this. I'd much prefer to smell of this than BO! And it's not like the fragrance is overbearing after it's applied. You only really need to use a small amount, and it lasts for most of the day. I think the tube itself will last quite a while - I got it in January, and I'm perhaps half way through in July? Oh, and it hasn't left any marks on my clothes. The only thing I've noticed is that extreme temperatures can have an effect on the thickness of the paste. When I was in Scotland, it was snowing outside and fairly cold inside, but not freezing. The paste became very hard to squeeze out! Not impossible, but difficult. Then, in very hot climates, at about 40 degrees Celsius, it becomes very thin and a bit watery, so you need to take care squeezing it out, as it'll flow out very quickly. However, I really haven't minded this at all. Perhaps in order to stay consistent in all temperatures, you'd need to add chemicals - then it wouldn't be a natural deodorant! Overall, it's the most expensive deodorant I've ever bought, but as a sweaty performer, it's a great investment. It's the best of the natural deodorants and I love the strong smell. Packaging looks great too. comes in a nice box. I would even say this would be a great gift for a performer!

Would highly recommend this product. After using sprays and roll on deodorant for years they didn’t always work that effectively. My daughter introduced me to this deodorant and I’ve never looked back. Very effective even at the end of a workout, a long day travelling or some on a hot day. The variety of scents are subtle and fresh smelling. They cause absolutely no skin irritation and l have sensitive skin. The tube itself is strong and sturdy. I would recommend a tube squeezer for ease of use and get the most out of this product. It causes no stains at all on clothing and so easy to apply. I love the fresh feeling at the end of a day. Although it’s more expensive than most deodorants on the market it’s worth it as it’s highly effective. When you do sweat a lot, your armpits can feel a little bit damp but there is no sweat smell at all.

I bought the orange fragrance and it reminds me a little of the rituals orange body cream only not as strong. It works very well though :) I've tried wild and fussy and both at the end of the day my underarms were wet and a slight odour :-( the only thing that stops it getting a 5 star is the lid is a littke fiddly and really shouldn't be needing to jab a pen into it to open. A design flaw really for something so expensive. Also once rubbed in it is quite powdery and did get a little on my black top but overall im just happy that finally I've found something that stops me sweating. I've also bought a 5ml sample of the columbia Road one which is tiny but smells very much of violets :) like the daisy twinkle perfume or a nice M&S handcream. Again the lid is a little fiddly. With the 5ml you break the nozzle then put it back in upside down.

Doesn’t work, you sweat right through, it then ends up like a wet paste that feels horrible. Product smells nice but not worth the money. My cheaper deodorant works better… thought I’d give this ago as everyone raved about it… don’t know why…

It lasts all day and has a pleasant scent. Unfortunately, it leaves white marks on clothing that are difficult to remove. Given the high price point, this is something they should really improve.

I've tried every deodorant/antiperspirant going, and never found one that worked completely. Some worked well but made me smell weird, whereas other made me smell lovely, but let me down. I cannot remember how I found out about this but it is soooo good. Pros: it is human, and planet friendly, residue free, doesn't harm your clothes, and can be used anywhere on the body, including the face, and underboob sweat is a thing of the past. That said, it is unisex, so you can share the same product. It smells lovely but not overpowering, (Onsen (purple tube) is my go-to), it also comes in fragrance free, it's easy to apply, it keeps you fresh and dry, and the tube last for a good 6-8 weeks depending on how often you reapply. A 'pea' size dollop is honestly all you need. There are no lasting, unpleasant side effects either that you can get from 'professional' products. Cons: It can make you a bit itchy but just wash off and use less next time, and you'll definitely need 'The Assistant' which is a tube 'key' because the tube is hard to squeeze using your hand. These keys are available anywhere tho, so not really a 'con'. I love it. Finish the tube and place in the recycling. What's not to love?! It might not be for all, and it could be called pricey, BUT, having something that actually works, is worth its weight in gold. I will definitely continue to buy this 🙂

It's hard to believe how good AKT really is! The perfect product for... well, everyone basically. Every scent is beautiful yet natural smelling, melts into the skin in seconds, leaves no residue whatsoever, and works. And it doesn't just work. It literally ERASES body odour completely. Without Exaggerating, I have not smelled a single whiff of body odour in the last few years that I've been using the product. And we're talking if I bury my nose in my armpit at the end of a 16 hour day – not a whiff. It really is unbelievable. I also love how it smells so nice when applying, but doesn't project it's smell into the air or onto your clothes, making it perfect for those who A) want to smell completely natural B) want to apply and appreciate their other fragrances (aftershave/perfume). I love that I can run errands or take a dog walk and get changed back into my house slacks without my clothes stinking of synthetic chemicals that other deodorants use, prompting me to wash them more regularly than I'd like to. I must save hundreds of pounds a year on unnecessary clothes washes and showers. I would almost always shower twice a day prior to using AKT, and now it's a rarity. I couldn't recommend the product more highly.

I really like the deodorant balm as a product, love the smell. But, the tube that it comes in just splits and so much gets wasted. I use their tool to roll the tube, so I'd say packaging is poor quality and have ended up having to find another container for the balm.
